Anime Question

If you were to speak Japanese (or if you already do) what form of "I" would you refer to yourself with?

I'd use boku...I don't like watashi =3= too formal and common. Boku seems more friendly too...

Isn't "ore" used for boys? I hear anime girls use "boku" quite a lot

Look my japanese teacher told me that boku is only for boys and can be used by girls in many rare and strange occasions...For girls it is atashi :)

I speak Japanese and I use atashi (I'm a girl), it's not too formal so in a friendly situation is ok.

I'd use watashi. It would be to much of a bother to use atashi to friends and watashi to strangers.

I took a Japanese language class, and my teacher (who is from Japan) says the standard feminine word is 'watashi', if that has any other clarification for anyone. c:

In Japan, ore is really impolite and people will never say that(unless to very close friends).
Atashi is for bad girls and it might seem impolite to seniors.
Boku is for primary boys.
Therefore, I will stick to the traditional watashi.

Boku is soft masculine and is friendly/humble....atashi is basic...ore is just damn rude...and watashi is something that every single person uses and it is all polite and formal ugh I hate it!

I may be a girl, but boku is something my style

I'd use "Ore" for more looking tomboyish....I prefer use boys' pronoun rather than girls....Also,it's also easier to communicate with boys either....
